That isn't uncommon actually. One common approach to handling potential unexploded ordinance is to evacuate the area and have a controlled detonation nearby. If you hear one boom, it was nothing. If you hear two booms, it was a bomb. Robots are often used for this.
Source: This is coming from my memory as part of MIT's Community Emergency Response Team back in 2012 & 2013. We didn't receive EOD training of course. We just did first aid training and crowd control at a few events, but we also go to sit in on discussions of EOD procedures and a tabletop excercise of an active shooter scenario.
